What is recorded here

Knockdrin Castle is a neo-Gothic mansion completed around 1820 for Sir Richard Levinge, built beside the remains of a much older tower house. Its sharp angles and dark stones still stand out on the Westmeath road, marking the estate where the Westmeath Hunt still gathers. The house has changed owners many times, yet it keeps the shape of the early nineteenth century, when Levinge wanted something grand enough to match the grey thicket and the small lake that gave the place its name.
